Offering a warning to Republicans on judges, Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin said he reserves the right to end their ability to block court nominees through the blue slip process if he concludes they're obstructing nominations without legitimate grounds.https://t.co/4KQXApu1Pp

Yes!
Weak. Republicans shouldn’t have the privilege of being able to issue blue tickets. When they were in power they eliminated this courtesy for Democrats. Why revive it? So they can block Democratic appointments? Charlie Brown, meet Lucy and her football. Frankly the Democrats in the House and Senate are too old and too set in their thinking about comity. They’re like battered spouses constantly trying to find middle ground with a mendacious and malicious partner who has no intention of reciprocating or even of negotiating anything, anything in good faith. And why? So they can sacrifice their prerogatives on the altar dedicated to David Broder’s ghost? So, so stupid.
